So this didn’t happen today exactly, but it’s something that keeps happening and I’m finally realizing how dumb the whole loop is. Basically I’ll go through phases where I’m watching porn every day for like 1–2 months straight. During that time I’m scrolling Telegram channels, Twitter accounts, saving links, the whole thing.
Then randomly I’ll get this moment of clarity where I’m like “wtf am I doing with my time.” So I decide I’m done. I delete Telegram, delete Twitter, wipe everything and feel like I finally fixed the problem.
But a few days later the urge comes back. Then my brain starts messing with me and I start thinking about all the links or channels I deleted. I start worrying I deleted something “good” or rare. That thought alone makes me reinstall everything again just to check.
Next thing I know I’m back in the same rabbit hole again, scrolling and saving stuff like before. Then a few weeks later I repeat the whole “delete everything and quit” phase again.
So yeah… turns out the real TIFU is realizing I’ve basically been running the same dumb cycle over and over again and somehow convincing myself it’ll be different the next time.
TL;DR: I keep deleting apps to quit porn, then reinstalling them days later because my brain tells me I might have deleted “good” content, and the cycle keeps repeating.
